In the Outer Valley of The Valley of the Wicked, there are over a dozen people patrolling everywhere!

They are the young members of The Valley of the Wicked, whose usual task is to patrol the entire territory to prevent any intrusions...

At the front of the team, the captain glanced at his somewhat absent-minded subordinates and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Stay alert! Those four people from the Hidden Family could appear at any time, do you understand?"

"Captain, you're joking!"

Hearing this mocking remark, he frowned and asked incredulously, "Joking? When was I joking?"

Seeing that the captain didn't catch his meaning, the young man who spoke earlier smiled lightly and continued, "Captain, I mean those people are unlikely to appear here because they simply can't pass the challenges set by the geniuses of the Inner Valley!"

"Yes, even if they do appear before us now, it would be only to pathetically beg us for rescue."

"Haha, I also think that deduction is the most logical!"

After saying this, all the young men burst into laughter...

Over the years, their power has been growing rapidly, and with it, their arrogance has inflated.

So now, they no longer even see the people of the Hidden Family in their eyes...

Hearing their ridicule, the captain thought for a moment, "What you're saying is indeed reasonable, but they could still appear, so we must still be cautious!"

"Yes, we..."

Before he could finish joking, they all stared blankly into the distance in shock...

The reason was that they saw four figures within the endless sandstorm, and they were getting closer and clearer...

...

"This...this must be an illusion!"

"Yeah, it must be a mirage!"

"I think so too!"

Even though they saw the four figures getting clearer, they still didn't believe these four people were Hu Xiaobei and the others. Rather, they thought it was a common mirage that often appeared.

The environment outside The Valley of the Wicked is harsh, frequently giving rise to various mirages...

So at this moment, they believed it was definitely a mirage!

The captain heard their fearful mumbling, turned around to take a look, and his face instantly turned extremely grim!

The next second, he grabbed the warning horn from his waist, placed it before him, and blew frantically on it...

He knew this absolutely couldn't be a mirage, so he now had to inform the others...

Instantly, the sound of the horn echoed throughout the Outer Valley...

"It's the sound of the warning horn, is the enemy coming?"

Everyone who heard the sound began to move quickly.

Soon, everyone rushed over, and in just a minute, the entire tower was filled with people.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah! Why was the warning horn blown?"

Hearing such subdued questions, the captain pointed into the distance and quickly said, "It's those four people from the Hidden Family, they've come!"

"What? This... this is impossible!"

"Exactly! It's been such a short time! How could they possibly be here!"

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads vigorously!

They completely didn't believe it!

They really couldn't believe it at this moment!

Hearing their questioning, the captain gave a bitter smile, "I know it's unlikely, but it's true. See for yourselves!"

Hearing such a resigned response, everyone instantly turned their heads to look over, and in the next second, they saw those four figures getting clearer...

At that moment, everyone knew he wasn't joking before...

They are here!

They really are here!

"What do we do? What should we do now!"

"Exactly!"

Panic set in!

No one expected them to appear so quickly, causing complete panic...

...

"Panic for what? They're just four pieces of trash, how could they affect us? They've come at the right time, just so we can see what they're really made of! If they don't match up, then there's no need to go to the Inner Valley!"

Hearing such a cold and deep voice, the panicked ones turned their heads...

At that moment, they saw four young men walk out expressionlessly...

"It's... it's our Outer Valley Four Masters!"

Upon seeing them, everyone recognized them...

The so-called Outer Valley Four Masters are the strongest four young men in the Outer Valley, who even have the qualifications to challenge the Inner Valley...

"Now that they're here, we don't need to be nervous!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

After such excited murmurs, everyone quickly quieted down...

Soon, everyone made way for them...

The four of them sneered, stepping into the best position.

Quickly, they saw Hu Xiaobei and the others.

Squinting slightly, they spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice!

"They've arrived a bit earlier than expected, and they're uninjured. It seems their strength is indeed not simple!"

"Hmm, but that just makes things interesting!"

"Yeah!"

With such a slight smile, the leader looked around at those people and ordered, "Later, take them to the Hero Platform. We'll wait for them there! Check their worth thoroughly!"

After saying that, the four of them turned around and left!

Watching them leave, these people became extremely excited...

"There's going to be a good show! A real spectacle!"

They were particularly excited at this time, knowing there would indeed be a spectacle to watch soon...

Outside, Hu Xiaobei and the others were unaware of their excitement. At the moment, they were looking up at this absolutely majestic valley...

"Damn, we finally walked out of that raging storm. The sandstorm was intense!"

"Indeed!"

As they spoke, they spat out the sand from their mouths!

Previously, everything was fine, but as they walked a little, a sandstorm kicked up.

If Hu Xiaobei hadn't been leading the way, they could have completely lost their way...

"Alright, now get ready, soon, someone will probably come to 'welcome' us!"

Hu Xiaobei deliberately emphasized the word "welcome"!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, their pupils constricted slightly, quickly returning to calm...

As they were recovering, Hu Xiaobei surveyed the surroundings...

Hu Xiaobei could feel a mix of Spiritual Energy in the air, although it was quite fragmented here.

Hu Xiaobei thought that the great battle of the past might have happened here...

Because only such an absolutely terrifying battle could turn this place into a barren expanse of land...

"With such fragmented Spiritual Energy here, it's hard to absorb. Why do they still refuse to leave?"

This question had been on Hu Xiaobei's mind, but no one could give him an explanation before.

Now, looking at the Outer Valley of The Valley of the Wicked up close, Hu Xiaobei had a bit of a theory...

It seemed like this was also a super large Natural Formation...

The layered stone walls blocked the various chaotic energies, purifying the Spiritual Energy...

"That means, living in the valley allows one to absorb pure Spiritual Energy!"

As Hu Xiaobei speculated, he heard footsteps and soon saw the absolute massive stone gate opening...

Immediately after, he saw nearly a hundred people rushing out from inside...

Seeing so many people, Hu Xiaobei remained calm, but Hai Tianshao and the others grew a bit nervous...

"Who would've thought, you four actually arrived here unharmed. I really suspect the geniuses of the Inner Valley went easy on you!"

After scrutinizing Hu Xiaobei and the others a few times, their temple veins throbbed...

They really didn't know what to say since Hu Xiaobei and the others didn't have a speck of dust on them!

Evidently, they hadn't faced much trial before...

Anyone unaware would assume they were just here for a vacation!

Hearing their words, Hai Tianshao mocked, "Whether they went easy or not, we don't know. But it's true the so-called tests were all trash!"

"You... you're sharp-tongued! That was just an appetizer; the real fun begins now. Hope you can really withstand the test!"

"Then stop talking!"

"Fine! Follow us. We'll take you to the Hero Platform and show you what our Outer Valley heroes are like!"

"Whatever!"

Hearing such a nonchalant response, they glared hard at Hu Xiaobei, then quickly turned to lead the way...

Frankly, they wished they could tear Hu Xiaobei and the others apart at this moment.

However, they knew they couldn't do that...

Because ganging up on fewer people violated the rules. If they did so, it would mean tearing down the façade, leading to a full-blown war, a fight to the death...
